Open letter to Mark Zuckerberg

Those lawmakers sure did make a fool of themselves when they questioned you in front of the US Congress. It was a bit like watching someone’s grandparents trying to be cool on social media. At times, the ladies and gentlemen there seemed a little out of their depth; there were a few awkward moments – in fact the entire event could have been quite amusing, and you and your shareholders had every reason to feel relieved.

However, upon closer inspection, none of it was funny. What you told the world was a brazen lie. You pretended to know nothing about the fact that Facebook has us all under surveillance, regardless of whether or not we are actually signed up to Facebook. That is one conscious aspect of your business model which is not funny at all.

Let us look forward to a better future. You have told the media that this is what you intend to do. You have been given a chance to make things right. Keep your word! Prove that you really are serious about implementing the changes to your company that you have promised to the public. Show your users some respect – and respect everyone’s privacy.

AND IF YOU DON’T KNOW HOW PRIVACY WORKS, ASK US.
WE’RE REALLY GOOD AT IT.
